Re: Brand new CL campsite- Anglesey
Wonderful location, our kind of CL, best wishes on your new venture. Sadly we aren’t able to tour at the moment, but when we can, you look a very nice option.😁
Re: Brand new CL campsite- Anglesey
Thanks for the news of a new site on Anglesey. If you add more posts it would be handy if you could add a link to your CAMC, or your own, web page. I wish you all the best and hope your CL is a success HenWen.
Re: Brand new CL campsite- Anglesey
Hen Wen offers a £12 per night stay if you don’t use a hook up. Not many CLs give this sort of option at that sort of price. So for us, this is a unique selling point, and would put Hen Wen top of our list. It’s why we have found ourselves using more CS rather than CL sites lately. They tend to offer more choice in terms of with or without hook up at a good discount.

Re: Swift Basecamp 2
Since 2003 we have owned 4 Touring's and currently a Feeling. Non have had a mildew problem as if we have had to pack away with the pop-top fabric wet we have always made sure the top goes up when home or it to dry out.
Whilst I still love the classic shape of the Touring I would NOT buy a new van. Even with the £5K discounts available on forecourt stock they are over priced and living on historic build quality reputation. Whilst they still compare well in build quality against "normal" vans, the quality of materials used has been in free fall for some time. Cabinetwork is made of poor quality plywood, hinges are week, screws rust and doors fall off in transit. I would also advise caution if buying anything less than 4 or 5 years old, as the new owner will not have had time to repair and strengthen things where needed. Anything over that looking good probably is good and worth buying.
It is for these reasons I went for a Feeling. The build is super. I have not had to fix anything since collecting mine new in June 2023. It tows very well, even with my modest 1.5L petrol Audi A3. The theoretical payload of 500kg is immense, but realistically nearer 400kg by the time bike carrier, battery, mover weights are taken into account.
The Barefoot has been mentioned and this is very nice. If we had not wanted a fixed bed and separate dining area I would have considered one, but would needed to rob a bank first.

Re: Caravan steps - Warning
I don’t have them any more as I don’t have a caravan now, Joanie. You said you’d had them for years and it’s inevitable that things wear out over time. That’s why it pays to check things and ours were fine for the 10 years or so we used them.
Re: Welcome to the New Club Together Forum!
@Rowena - this is still happening. Is IT unable to rectify the problem?

Re: Mayday Query after watching a disaster.
If it’s on social media, it must be accurate🙄.
As for the OP’s question, either study your policy for the terms or ring and ask. Both are likely to be more accurate than our opinions.
